in addition to the adapter plate, you will probably need a certain special pilot bushing. im doing a t5-t56 swap and im still trying to read up on all the needed parts. For the hydraulics you need a internal slave aka hydraulic throwoutbearing. OR you may be able to find a company that makes a special bellhousing that will bolt to the t56 to a BBC and allow you to use a standard mechanical clutch setup. ive read that lts have a throwout bearing that actually has a snap ring connected to the preesure plate so i need a lt1 clutch, but the LS1 t56 doesnt have that. I do know the input shaft of a ls1 t56 is a different length that the lt1 ones and the over all trans length of a ls1 unit is slightly longer than a lt1 t56. so in case you find lt1 t56 swap info just keep in mind its not exactly the same for your trans.
